A Common n1isnpprehonsion.

There are many things generally be
loved to be true by those not especially
conversant in scientific matters, which
really have not the slightest basis of fact
to rest upon. We have often been asked,
for instance, if an ordinary microscope
would show the millions of animalcuie
with which every drop of water is sup
posed to warm. This belief rests upon
q very common misrepresentation. Ordi-
nary pond water contains o few small
animals, which when magnified certainly
look rather frightful; but they are per-
fectly harmless, and not very numerous;
at least they do not swarm in every drop.
Rain, spring, and other pure waters are
absolutely free from all forms of life. ex-
cept those accidentally introduced. BY
proper treatment, water containing i'm
uurlties may be made TO develop large
Tlmte7e OF bacteria; but they are not a
regular accompaniment of ordinary
waters.-Popular Science Monthly.

pstsetir.. OF Vow York.

At . O'Clock in the morning the fifty
detectives, q motley throng representa-
all ~nationalities, gather at the inspectors
Office. Some of them who work in the
aristocratic parts Of the city are fashion
ably dressed, and others who explore the
Stun and docks are appareled like coal
beavers. One is a Bohemian, another an
Italian and another a Hebrew. They
make their reports 10, the inspector, and
if n has been derelict in his duty he is
pretty apt to find that somebody's eyes
have been on him and that the inspector
Euows about his movements. The in
n is the court to try his case, and no
cuts Ter hears it. He may be repri-
miau1ed or quietly dropped from the force,
but there is n 10 appeal from the inspectors
decision.
When . new detective Is needed a pa
trolman is sometimes 1attered with an
invitation to put on citizens clothes and
report to the inspector. He may have
been patrolling a forlorn beat in the out
skirts of the city, but the Inspector, who
watches the record of every promising
policeman, has heard of his making a
clever arrest and wants to give him 4
trial. The inspector has his truisms, one
of which is that n man who is to mako a
good detective will show some OF his fit
ness in his face, and another being that
he must first possess a great ambition to
be a detective. Ambition is the mnin-
spring and effectiveness and perseverance
the balance Of a good detective. The in
spector has also a tradition that no woman
makes a good detective. They are too
apt to fall in love-" he says, ''and q

HOUSEKEEPING MADE EASY.

What Modern Invention Has Done for
Our NIatrons and Maids.
In former years 1t was no easy task for
n young married couple to go housekeep-
ing, and it required no sulRll expenditure
OF cash. A range or cooking stove, n cof-
fee and spice mill, u mortar, a cake board
and rolling pin, a tray and chopping
Knife, not to mention a large number OF
pots, Kettles, frying pans and bowls, and
u large stock of raw materials iii the line
OF provisions, were required. Then con-
siderable skill was necessary to use all
these instruments for preparing food for
tie table, and hat skill, unfortunately.
was not possessed by the young wife. The
consequence was that most persons who
embarked on the sea Of mntrimony sailed
directly to a boarding house and set up
their household diyinities in a back cham
Der, where they remained till the land
Indy levied on them for an over due bill
for meals and lodgings.
But modern invention has rendered
housekeeping very easy. A couple may
now set up for themselves with very few
utensils, scarcely any provisions, and next
to no knowledge of cookery. A gas or oil
stove takes the place of a costly and cum
brous cooking range. Coffee is bought
not only parched, but ground. Spices and
pepper come all prepared for use. Every
kind of bread, cake and pastry can be
purchased at a slight advance on the cost
of the materials they contain. II one
wishes the sport of making them, self
raising flour may be had in any grocery.
Fruit of all kinds all ready for the table
can be purchased about as cheaply as that
which must be prepared. Not only lob
sters and other shell fish, but salmon may
be bought cooked and ready to be served
Mt a price but little above what the crude
articles cost; and cooked corned beef,
tongue, pigs feet and ham nave long been
on the market.
There are also canned soups, that only
need to be diluted, minee meat, all ready
to put between pie crusts. and roast meats
and fowls of all descriptions. Some
grocers keep mush prepared for frying.
Boston baked beans, put up in cans, have
had n great u during the past few years.
English plum buildings are also on tie
market. Cans of cooked green corn,
beans, peas, tomatoes, cauliiower and
asparagus, with Saratoga fried potatoes,
are to be found on the shelves of every
grocery, while laundries do the washing
and ironing.
1t is no longer necessary to be a cook, or
have a cook, to keep house. 1t requires
scarcely any cooking utensils to provide q
warm meal. A can opener, q frying pan
and a coffee pot are the principal reaui-
sites. Even the last is not absolutely
necessary, since a mixture Of prepared
coffee, sugar and cream may readily be
obtained. 1t is even practical now for the
novice to dispense with a cook book, as the
label on every can tells how to treat the
contents. Surely, ladies. need no longer
complain that the lnbors of housekeeping
keep them from cultiynting their minds

Hotels TINT pon,t Pnr.

The worst paying hotel a man can
run, " remarked a prosperous proprietor,
lis a temperance house. Very few of them
make any money, and the majority burst
up in a few months. l used to wonder
what was the reason; whether there were
not enough temperance men in the cour-
try to support a hotel, or if they were
ashamed to be identified with the move
ment, 1t really seemed to me that there
was little fraternity among the teetotal-
ers, and 1 often remarked the fact to
prominent advocates. One and all adj
mitted that they never thought of putting
up at q temperance house, because the
accommodations were always poorer than
at the regular hotels. The proprietor of
a temperance place will tell you that he
cannot afford to entertain his guests in us
liberal a as his moro secular
rival, because he has no receipts coming
in from the bar. Drinking costs more
than eating, and the profits from it are
ten times as large. Many men whose
board is mot more than $50 a week will
run up d bill of 600 by patronizing the
ban. New York Sun.

TIL most genial of correspondents is
DIR. Holmes. He responds with a cor
diality in the tone of his letter that makes
you at once feel q liking for the man.
Whittier regards humanity at large as
his friends, and he freely uses the adj
dress Of Dear friend" in his letters to
all. Lowell, on the other hand, is cold,
distant and reserved. Francis Parkman,
the historian, is likewise cautious and
dignihed, employing only the word
Sir, while Bancroft is cordial and
polite. Mr.. Howells frequently dashes
off a note forgetting any complimentary
address at all. Aldrich is never warm.
but always polite. The poet Steadman
employs the pen of his son in answering
miscellaneous letters. George William
Curtis is the pink of p%oliteness in his cor
~respondence, and rarely fails of a cordial
word at the end of his letters. Charles
Dudley Warner writes easily and always
cordially. George w. Cables self i'm
p%ortance reflects itself in his letters.
Walt Whitman ignores strangers letters.
and answers only those of his friends,
and even these sparingly. Marx Twain's
letters are free in expression, often tinged
with a quiet humor, but he does not
show a warmth in his style. John Bur-
roughs is pleasing and courteous, friendly
and dignified at turns, but ALWAYS the
gentleman. Bob Burdette is neon
ventional and full of geniality in his let
tiers; dignity Is not a word in his vocabu-
larry. Edward Eggleston is only luke
warm, and invariably uses the prefix
Dear sir" and the efix Yours truly"

Mr.. John C. Goodridge, Jr., has sug-
gested a project for modifying the eli
mate of the Atlantic coast by closing the
strait of Belle Isle, and advances the
theory hat this scheme is feasible as a
problem III physical geography capable
Of an engineering solution. He argues
that it is shown by charts that the great
body of the "cold wall" comes to us
through that strait. Newfoundland de-.
fleets the remainder of the Arctic current
to the southeast. Here, pressing against
the gulf stream, it veers southwark in
the form of a loop, and finally, running
under it, goes on toward the equator.
That part of the gulf stream that passes
our shores has a course directly north
and a little west, is DETECTED slightly
toward the east by the coasts of South
and of North Carolina, and thence turns
more to the north again, when it is de-
Elected by the cold current returning
from the pole.
When this cold current is of least
strength, as in August and September,
the gulf stream comes within ten miles
of Barnegat; at other times it is distant
1870 miles, changing with the amount OF
the cold current and the wind. If we
had not the cold wall between our shores
and the gulf stream, it is fair TO presume
that we should have q less stormy coast.
us the juxtaposition of these two currents,
with their difference in temperature,
must, from that circumstance, tend to
an unstable condition of atmospheric
equilibrium. Our cold northwest winds
would then sweep to the north of us and
become westerly and ~southwesterly
winds.-Popular Science Monthly.

What method of suicide is most pop
ular?''
Shooting. Out of 1000 suicides in
the United States during q recent year,
there were 531 cases Of shooting, $40 of
poisoning, 275 hanging, 155 cutting
throat, 1877 by drowning. Beside these,
81 persons killed themselves by jumping
from or standing in front of moving
railway trains, % by cutting arteries, IS
by jumping from heights, II by stabbing,
8 by burning and 1 each by scalding and
starving. 1t is a remarkable fact that
two-thirds of the self murders are COM
mitted in broad daylight. Statistics of
suicide by hanging, for example, show
that the maximum of such cases occur
between 6 and 8 o'clock in the morning,
the number decreases slightly till noon,
and then drops suddenly to the minimum;
there being 1913 cases between 10 and 10,
against only 80 between 12 and 9 o'clock.
The number rises in the afternoon to 1O4
cases between 4 and 0, dropping to an
average of about 80 an hour during the
night, the least number being between 4
and O in the morning. We here clearly
see the marked influence of the midday
meal and the midnight sleep in elevating
the mental tone, and also the depression
Of the morning and afternoon at the pros
pect of another day or night of misery"

Closing Down the BurnettIzer.

BurnettizinE works in this city, erected
by the Union Pacific Railway company at
a cost OF S40,O 900 or $780, 900, have been
shut down, and, report says, shut down
for good. 1t is stated that this is done
by order of President Adams, but no cause
is given for the sudden abandonment of
an enterprise from which the company
expected so much at the outset. 1t is too
early to express an opinion in the matter,
but if the plant has been permanently
shut down the blame will be laid to officials
not so far away as Boston nor quite so
